Identify the function of a caliper in engineering.

Caliper(s) or calliper(s) are an instrument used to measure the linear dimensions of an object or hole;

200

What does the term "innovation" mean in the context of engineering?

To modify an already existing invention.

200

allows designers to test the practicability of the current design and potentially investigate how trial users think and feel about the product

Why is prototyping important in the design process?

300

Describe the importance of having a first aid kit in an engineering workspace.

To assist in an emergency

300

Describe how trust can be built within an engineering team.

Communicate openly, listen to their ideas, and provide support. Acknowledge their expertise and involve them in decision-making.

300

measuring current, voltage, and resistance within a circuit

 How does a multimeter assist in electrical engineering tasks?

300

this invention is considered the precursor to modern computers?

what is the analytical engine

300

Explain the significance of testing and evaluation in engineering.

T&E enables the Program Manager to learn about limitations (technical or operational), Critical Operational Issues (COI), of the system under development so that they can be resolved before production and deployment.

400

Maintain tools with care, Inspect tools thoroughly. 

What are the safety protocols to follow when using power tools?

400

Productivity and efficiency drop off sharply, and collaboration or innovation is next to impossible.

What challenges can arise from poor teamwork in engineering?

400

Power tools have a power source that allows them to operate automatically and without human intervention.

Hand tools  are exactly what they sound like – tools that require manual labor to use

What is the difference between a hand tool and a power tool?

400

this innovation in transportation has improved efficiency.

What is electric vehicles

400

What role does feedback play in the engineering design process?

helps engineers to optimise feedback loops, improve design quality and thus ensure the design's efficiency.

500

Explain the role of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) in ensuring safety during engineering projects.

The MSDS lists the hazardous ingredients of a product, its physical and chemical characteristics (e.g. flammability, explosive properties), its effect on human health, the chemicals with which it can adversely react, handling precautions, the types of measures that can be used to control exposure
